Published Reference List: [Coley, D. (2012) Minor Planet Bull. 39, 23-24.] 39890 Bobstephens           Discovered 1998 Mar. 23 by P. Pravec at Ondřejov. Robert Stephens (b. 1955) is a Californian amateur astronomer who has determined some 30 sets of minor-planet lightcurve parameters since becoming active in the field in 1999. His high-quality work and generosity in sharing his time and knowledge within the amateur community have set a standard for others to follow.
